Dear New Student:

If you’d like to save time, thrill your taste buds, and get complete nutrition in every delicious meal, here's your chance to get a custom 1-week menu plan. Just look at the benefits:

• You won’t need to figure out substitutions! Every delicious meal is tailored to your food allergies and special needs… as well as your age, gender, health conditions, and other unique traits.
  
  
• You won’t waste food! Weekday lunches include leftovers from the night before, and they’re packable. So you won’t have ingredients from Monday's dinner left over, with no plan to use them later in the week.
  
  
• You won’t guess how much to eat. Exact serving sizes are specified based on your age, gender, height, weight, percent body fat, level of physical activity, and weight goals (lose/gain/maintain).
  
  
• You’ll feel great because the foods in each meal complement each other in taste, presentation, and nutrition. Everything is in perfect combination to deliver nutrition to your cells… especially the nutrients that are harder to absorb from vegetarian foods.
  

Each meal is:

• Delicious
  
• Quick and easy
  
• Nutritionally complete
  
• Made up of mostly alkaline foods
  
• Complete with serving sizes, calories, and a nutritional breakdown
  
• Designed around your food allergies, special needs, and foods or condiments you avoid
  

Your weekly menu includes:

• Three meals a day for 7 days
  
• Recipes and a shopping list
  
• Packable lunches for Mon - Fri
  
• Lunches that use the previous night’s leftovers
  

Who designs your menu plan? Our Registered Dietitian has worked as a staff dietitian for The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, and as Clinical Research Coordinator for Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes.

With your shopping list in hand, you’ll be able to stock up once – and only once – at the beginning of each week. Then you’ll have everything you need. No messing around. No last minute runs to the grocery store.

Four Disclaimers

1. Many of the recipes are blended. So you’ll need either a blender or food processor (or the willingness to buy one).
   
   
2. We assume you have access to a health food store and fresh fruits and vegetables. If you’re not near a health food store, you may have to order some ingredients online, or use frozen vegetables in place of fresh.
   
   
3. The serving sizes are for one person (you). If you cook for several people, you can double or triple the recipes, as needed.
   
   
4. Depending on your special needs and food allergies, it can take 2-5 business days to create your custom menu. However, we start designing it the same day we receive your intake form. So there are no refunds.
   
   

What’s the investment for this opportunity to save time, thrill your taste buds, and get complete nutrition in every delicious meal?

It’s just $197. Of course, you can find stock menu plans for less. But here’s why you should avoid those:

1. They’re not customized for your body, your goals, and your special needs and food allergies. So the serving sizes won’t be right for you.
   
   
2. They often suggest unhealthy foods
   Stock menu plans often suggest unhealthy foods!
   
   When we searched online for sample plant-based menus, we were shocked to find menus recommending bagels and margarine for breakfast… two foods we discourage eating in Lesson 16 of The Mastery Program.
   
   Margarine is a trans-fat. And according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, bagels are among the top 20 acrylamide-containing foods.
   
   As Dr. Klaper explains, acrylamides are nasty chemicals known to damage chromosomes, increase oxidative damage in tissues, injure nerve cells, and be a low-grade carcinogen. They form when starchy foods are heated above 248 degrees Fahrenheit.
   
   .
   
   
3. They leave you vulnerable to deficiencies. Our menu plan won’t.
   
   

To be more specific, some nutrients are harder to absorb from vegetarian foods. For example, typically only 10% – 20% of the iron in vegetarian foods is absorbed by your body (vs. the “heme” iron in meat and fish).

Our research uncovered a “secret” food combination that multiplies the iron you absorb. Our menu plan employs this combination. And you’ll learn all about it in Lesson 7 of The Mastery Program.

Likewise, the beta carotene in plant foods is only 1/12 as potent as animal-based Vitamin A!

Here again, our menu plan employs a “magic” food combination that converts more of the beta-carotene you eat into active Vitamin A. Here too, you’ll learn all about it in Lesson 13 of The Mastery Program.

We don’t know of any stock menu plans designed with these food combinations in mind.

Your investment in this menu plan is pennies compared to the cost of ill health. Just one oversight or deficiency – if ignored for too long – can leave you vulnerable to disease, and potentially thousands in doctor or dental bills. Why take that gamble when you can thrive on a vegan or vegetarian diet?

If you click "Add To Cart" below, you’ll receive a link to a page with an intake form. That’s where you’ll be prompted for your age, gender, food allergies, health conditions, and other unique traits. If you click "Budget Plan", you'll learn about a more affordable plan with 2 meal per day for 5 days.
